Nintendo to Take Super Smash Bros. on 'Tailgate Tour' to College Campuses

A number of college and university students will soon be able to play Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. on campus.

Nintendo announced today that the multi-character brawler will be going on tour to college campuses around the country, pitting different schools against each other to determine which is the best.

Super Smash Bros. matches will precede football games, and Nintendo hopes that the rivalries between schools will stir up competition that can only be solved by way of several classic Nintendo characters beating each other senselessly.

While fans play, Nintendo will track the winners, aggregating the scores to determine which school is the dominant Smash Bros. competitor. Fans from rival schools will play primarily on the Wii U version, while the 3DS version will be available for friends to compete in smaller circles.

The tour will start on October 4 and will run through November 29. See a full list of all the planned dates and locations below.
